Prey

Tommy is a Cherokee garage mechanic, refuting his heritage and undecided about his next step in life. His world comes to a halt when an extraterrestrial crisis forces him to awaken spiritual powers from his long-forgotten birthright. Abducted with his people to a menacing mothership orbiting Earth, he sets out to save himself, his girlfriend, and eventually, the entire planet.

Features:

Gravity Flipping – Manipulate gravity by shooting special targets located throughout the sphere. There are also zones in the world where gravity is automatically flipped in various directions.
Wall Walking – Wall walk surfaces allow Tommy to traverse the sphere’s walls and explore otherwise unreachable areas.
Death Walking – Death isn’t the end. After losing all of his health, Tommy enters the Death Realm. He must battle the wraiths of fallen spirits to regain both health and spirit energy before returning to his living body.
Spirit Mode – Tommy can use the power of his ancient ancestors to leave his body and enter a spirit form. Spirit mode allows Tommy to sneak up on enemies, as well as overcome the sphere’s many obstacles.

LEGIT! -
I have a standard Mac book (nothing too fancy) so I was pretty dissapointed to discover the lack of games available. I got Starcraft 2 and the Sims 3 which are both great games but not exactly my style. That's why I was stoked to see this title for only $20 bucks on the AppStore. It's beautiful and runs smoothly (running on Mac osx ver. 10.6.7). I love games that think out of the box and tell great stories like this one. If you're going to get a game for your Mac, this is the one to buy. I would love to see more games of this nature available (Left 4 Dead?)

Losing my faith in the App store and mac gaming in general. -
Don't buy if you use a soundcard like the DUET.
Seriously Apple, you need to give options to refund your poorly designed and non working software App store stuff, this game and MC Domination, both purchaces DO NOT WORK ON MY MACHINE, i7.

Fantastic game! -
I always wanted to play this game, but when it came out my old laptop was too underpowered. Now here it is five years later and it runs perfectly on my 11" 128GB/4GB/1.4 MacBook Air. This is a really great port and an excellent game, and I can't recommend it enough!

One of the few great OSX games around -
As others have noted, Prey is a sight-and-sound pleaser to be sure. Graphics are smooth and fast on my 2.8Ghz MBP and the funky way this game plays with gravity shifting will keep you guessing on how best to get through levels.
I can't get over the few humorous moments put into the game, such as the scene where aliens are rocking out to the jukebox playing Judas Priest, "You've got another thing coming" right before you fight them. Hilarious. And poignant. Who said serious shooters couldn't be a little funny?
Visually this is almost as stunning as TRON 2.0 was when it was released but the levels and gameplay are more defined with a better storyline.
It's too bad the majority of OSX games are puny, childish cartoon-ish nonsense; deeply developed and visual stunners like this could easily be ported to Mac (Portal, for example) and why more aren't is strange, but Prey is definitely worth the money regardless how old it is.

Review by I eat flies

Just like the 360 version... -
I also had this for the Xbox 360, and it is pretty much the exact same thing, though I like this version better because the console can be brought up to enter cheat codes.
I have had no trouble at all with performance (2011 Macbook Air), but I really would like to use a controller for this games, but there is no option to do so, unfprtunately.
Update... There is an app here that will let you bind keys to a game pad. I've no cause to complain any longer...
